I've been seeing from multiple place that Jim Harbaugh refused to do a post game interview with CBS. Wondering if Shannon Sharpe blasted him? I went and finished off all the beer at the party I was at after 49ers failed on 4th down.

The funny thing this is the second year in a row where Harbaugh refused to talk to the network reporter after losing in the playoffs (he blew off Fox last year in the NFCCG) and there wasn't a single mention about it either time. With Belichick, it is like he started a bonfire of live babies on the 50 yard line.

Ok Shannon. It's a huge deal when a coach doesn't do a post-game interview after an AFCCG but a different coach refuses to do one after the Super Bowl and we should "let it go"? The double standard is ridiculous.

Another thing is absolutely NO ONE in sports media is talking about this but when Belichick refused it was headline material.

One more thought on this: CBS and Tasker knew that Belichick wasn't going to do an on-field interview before the AFCCG. The topic had been discussed in a production meeting in the days prior to the game. They agreed on some players who would be interviewed instead of Belichick.

There's probably a good chance Harbaugh told the network the same thing prior to the SB, but why should that stop Sharpe (and Esiason) from blasting him? I'd like to think that Sharpe learned something in the last two weeks, but that's not likely.

The next time that Sharpe has something even remotely close to being negative about anybody in either the Ravens or Broncos organization, it will be the first time. Fans of other teams accuse former Patriots of being homers, yet Sharpe gets a pass for his obvious bias.
